Objectives

Students will be able to:

  • understand the difference (and need) of IPv4 and IPv6
  • understand the nature of dynamic and static IP addresses
  • understand the nature of private and public IP addresses

IP Addresses

You are probably connected to the Internet right now.

What is your IP address?

It is probably something like:

11.43.84.255

but it could be something like:

c2d0:b5f3:9ca3:59fb:51f5:ecea:172f:1e7c

Both of these are examples of IP addresses. But why do they look so different?
